2014 Map of West of Gold Mountain

About this map

Death Valley National Park dominates this desert landscape where the state lines of California and Nevada converge. The map illustrates a high-desert environment defined by the transition between the Gold Mountain Range in the northeast and the Amargosa Range at the southern edge. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, with Death Valley and the Mojave Desert intersecting across a system of washes, most notably Oriental Wash in the northwest. This 2014 survey documents the precise boundary between Esmeralda and Inyo Counties, providing a clear look at the topography of this arid corridor before it descends into the lower basins of the park system.
